Canada is mind bogglingly big.
- vishnu_ks 8y agoImagine the things that are waiting in the Universe to be discovered.
- johan_larson 8y agoYes it is. My favorite anecdote about it is that the province of Ontario is big enough to have vineyards in the south and polar bears in the north.
- walrus01 8y agoHalf of Canada's population lives south of the red line in this map, which is also further south than Seattle. https://imgur.com/CenW9oi https://imgur.com/CenW9oi
- johan_larson 8y agoYup. That line is just north of Montreal, so the area south of it includes Canada's two largest metropolitan areas. Did you know there's a tiny bit of Canada that is further south than the California-Oregon border?
- zrail 8y agoDetroit is actually north of that tiny bit of Canada too. Blew my mind a little when we moved here.
- jacquesm 8y agoNo kidding. Just the Wawa-Sault Ste. Marie-Timmins-Sudbury quad is large enough to be lost in for several lifetimes. One tell that you are about to enter uncharted territory is a sign that reads 'last gas station for 400km'. And that is one of the more accessible areas, there are still plenty of lakes where a water plane can land and there are logging trails every 30 km or so.
